A few steps back from a south- or west-facing window works well, as does an east-facing position. In a brighter room it keeps a more compact habit and develops stronger colour, while in lower light it remains resilient but grows more slowly. Use a simple cachepot to match Scandinavian interiors and to protect surfaces from moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a well-draining potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Rotate the plant every couple of weeks for even growth. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the surface able to photosynthesise efficiently. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer, then pause or reduce feeding through the darker months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote:\u003c\/em\u003e Like other rubber plants, Ficus elastica contains sap that can irritate skin and is best kept out of reach of pets and small children.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant \/ houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies \/ variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus elastica ‘Abidjan’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø17 cm pot, approx. 55 cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in a grower’s nursery pot (decorative outer pot not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040826089815,"sku":"11871","price":74.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/e6a83e1b-29ed-4488-8bc4-59100a3f8541_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782311","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-elastica-abidjan-o17cm-%e2%86%9555cm","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
